Chapter 303 Whoever has the strongest fist is the one who upholds justice!
The Minister of Justice turned his head away, his expression full of annoyance, and he couldn't help but scold his attendant:

"I specifically told you to keep an eye on her when I left. What exactly did you do?"

The servant realized he had made a grave mistake and immediately began to explain: "Sir, the murderer appeared and disappeared without a trace; no one has been able to catch a glimpse of him."

"If there hadn't been some noise inside, our men wouldn't have broken in."

"But as soon as you break in, there's blood everywhere!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liuyun appeared before the attendant, his eyes icy cold: "Lead the way!"

The attendant hesitated for a moment, then looked at the Minister of Justice.

The Minister of Justice's expression was also not good. He waved his hand and said, "Lead the way!"

The sound of footsteps soon rang out.

Unbeknownst to them, someone was watching their every move from a hidden corner in the distance.

Lin Zhiqing watched the group hurry towards the backyard and couldn't help but smile.

Lu Huai, who was standing beside her, was not surprised by the death of Zhi Niang.

Because Lu Huai knew that Mole Mother, as the direct murderer of Aunt Mu, was definitely not going to survive.

Lin Zhiqing will not let her live.

Upon further reflection, Lin Yangyang realized that she had quietly slipped into the backyard earlier, but hadn't come out yet.

With a little thought, these things can be easily connected.

It's very likely that Lin Yangyang killed the girl with the mole.

This move, besides avenging Aunt Mu, will also directly exacerbate the conflict between the Minister of Justice and Jiang Liuyun.

This leaves no room for maneuver.

This is indeed a perfectly calculated, open strategy.

As for Lu Huai himself, it would be very difficult for him to calculate so precisely.

Even if he could control every aspect, he still couldn't be sure what Jiang Liuyun and the Minister of Justice were thinking.

Only Lin Zhiqing could accurately grasp these people's thoughts, and then devise such a flawless plan.

This incident did give him some inspiration.

Just as he was deep in thought, Lin Yangyang's excited voice rang out:
"Qing-meimei, I'm back!"

Noticing that Lin Yangyang seemed to have something more to say, Lin Zhiqing interrupted her:
"We can talk about this later. Let's hurry up. The Minister of Justice should send people to search the mansion for the criminals."

Even if the death of the woman with the mole is a good thing for the Minister of Justice, he will still make a show of searching for the murderer.

Lin Yangyang immediately stopped talking.

Before the Ministry of Justice could react, the three of them quickly left the area.

After returning to Shuqing Pavilion without stopping, Lin Yangyang was still in high spirits.

Seeing Lin Zhiqing and Lu Huai sit down at the table, she looked at Lin Zhiqing expectantly and said, "Sister Qing, I have something to say."

Lin Zhiqing handed her a cup of tea: "Go ahead and speak."

"Do you all think I killed that mole-faced woman?" She had been holding it in for so long, she couldn't hold back any longer.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly, but then her brows quickly relaxed.

Lu Huai made the same gesture before speaking: "When you arrived, Mole Mother was already dead? Was it the Minister of Justice who did it?"

Lin Yangyang: ... Her enthusiasm was instantly extinguished. She pouted and said, "No, I told you so you could guess, not so you could just tell me the answer!"

Lu Huai was very honest: "Since you asked that, then you definitely didn't kill that person."

“Jiang Liuyun would definitely not lay a hand on that woman. If he were to do so, he would have no reason to argue with the Minister of Justice.”

"On the contrary, the Minister of Justice has a very good motive. Since the woman can eliminate the threat to him whether she is alive or dead, he might as well just kill her."

Lin Zhiqing nodded. Seeing that Lin Yangyang didn't understand the logic, she added, "The Minister of Justice can frame me for killing someone."

"Given Jiang Liuyun's personality, he is indeed more likely to suspect me."

"But that's not surprising. Even if the Minister of Justice didn't make a move, I would still have you kill that mole-wielding woman."

"You two are so boring. You know everything. There's no surprise at all." Lin Yangyang rested her chin on her hands, clearly finding it rather dull.

Lin Zhiqing smiled and said, "Next time we encounter a case, I'll let you try to guess first."

"No, that won't do." Lin Yangyang's expression changed very quickly.

"I only know who killed the person because I saw the Minister of Justice's men commit the crime with my own eyes. Otherwise, how would I know who killed them?"

"But this Minister of Justice is really cunning and shrewd. With a move like this, most people would definitely think it was us who did it."

"Who did it isn't important; what's important is that the Minister of Justice and Jiang Liuyun have definitely broken off all ties." Lin Zhiqing smiled slightly.
"That old fox, the Minister of Justice, is indeed ruthless when it comes to his own interests, having been in the court for so long."

Lu Huai couldn't help but sigh, "How many of those who can stand on the throne are simple people?"

"The position of Minister of Justice has always been the most stable among the six ministries, thanks to his cautious and meticulous approach."

"However, we can't just let this matter of him framing you go."

"Hmm? Can we throw this dirty water back at them?" Lin Yangyang's eyes lit up.

Lin Zhiqing also looked at Lu Huai.

Lu Huai shook his head: "Of course not, but I do have evidence that the son of the Minister of Justice once mistakenly killed a soldier in the military camp."

"A wrongful killing?" Lin Zhiqing immediately grasped this key phrase:

"You previously said that the Minister of Justice wasn't entirely biased towards Jiang Liuyun, and that their relationship was more of a transaction. Are you referring to this matter?"

Lu Huai couldn't help but admire Lin Zhiqing's keen insight:
"That's right. It was said to be a mistaken killing, but in reality, the soldier's sister went to visit him, and the son of the Minister of Justice had wicked intentions. He then killed both the brother and sister afterward."

"Yun Feng, under the pretense of traveling with my father, secretly investigated a lot of things for me."

"Outrageous! How could such a heinous act happen in broad daylight? Is there any justice left?" Lin Yangyang slammed her hand on the table, clearly furious.

"In Dasheng, whoever has the strongest fist is the law of nature." Lin Zhiqing turned his head away: "How innocent are ordinary people?"

But the empathy only lasted a moment; she quickly regained her composure.

"Please wait on this matter. We can bring it up again after the Minister of Justice has taken over, and then we can offer sacrifices to the souls of those who died tragically."

"Okay," Lu Huai replied softly.

He knew that Lin Zhiqing was waiting for the Minister of Justice and Jiang Liuyun to completely fall out, to ensure that the two would not retaliate, and then to take the next step based on the Minister of Justice's attitude towards retrying Lin Congrong's case.

Lin Yangyang understood the two's arrangement, but she was still somewhat annoyed that she couldn't immediately punish the son of the Minister of Justice.

"If I ever reach the frontier, I will make sure to keep a good eye on my men. What kind of hero bullies men and women?"

Her tone was tinged with envy: "That kid Yun Feng is really quite capable. Not only can he go to the frontier, but he can also find out about these things."

"Where is he? Isn't he always following you around like a shadow? Could it be that he's gone to some high-ranking official's residence to eavesdrop again?"

Surprisingly, Lu Huai nodded, but did not deny it.
